Crown Of Thorns
The
object of the puzzle is to disassemble the thirty pieces and reassemble
into this attractive collection of stellated rhombic dodecahedrons.
This puzzle was conceived whilst

very fine tolerances of each saw cut are the secret to it fitting
together ...

Mike Smith - PENTERA Limited
This has been one of my favorites for a long time. Mike Smith in 1994 Made a limited Edition of 235. this is #133.

Then you can take them out and assemble a ball, as well as a ball in the frame! I only know of 3 of the 5 puzzles. Perhaps a Cubic Fan will share with me the other two. (I'll still have time to try!).
